Polarization-independent gain in mid-infrared interband cascade lasers

We have calculated the gain function of a type-II W-design AlSb/InAs/GaAsSb/InAs/AlSb quantum wells to be used in an active region of interband cascade lasers, for two linear polarizations of in-plane propagating light: transverse-electric and transverse-magnetic. The effect of external electric fie...
